C :: Strcmp Negative Value From User Input

Jul 24, 2014

I am studying c and I thought what would be better than using my pi to play with relays and c. I am used to PHP as a scripting lang and don' t do much programming. So I wrote this to use wirepi and ask the user "on or off" they type on or off and it does it. it does work but I know something is wrong when I use strcmp in the if statment I can -10 for a value. Here is the code.....

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
char oo[100];
system("gpio mode 0 out");
printf("Do you want it on or off?

[Code] ....

This is what it outputs at the prompt

Do you want it on or off?
on
on

It is now on!

How can I just get Code: if (oo = on) {} and like so with off.

C :: How To Stop User From Inputting Negative Number Into Unsigned Long

Feb 3, 2013

here's one more thing id like to do to make the input even better able to handle user error, but im not sure if its possible or at least easy. I need the function to return a large positive number. As of right now, it can handle users entering characters, but what if the user enters a negative number? is there a way to check to see if what is coming in is negative before the sign gets lost in conversion to unsigned"ness"?

Code:
unsigned long getNum(char prompt[80])
{
unsigned long darts;
printf("%s", prompt);
while((scanf("%lu", &darts)) != 1)
{

C++ :: Input Validation - Program Cannot Accept Negative Numbers

Nov 12, 2014

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

// Function Prototype
void sortArray(int array[], int size);

[Code] ....

This program was made to allow students to enter as many test scores as they want and the program will show them in ascending order and then will calculate the average of all test scores. It works wonderful until you enter a negative test score and then it throws the averaging process off. I can't seem to be able to make the program not accept the negative numbers.

C :: Comparing Password With Strcmp

Oct 7, 2013

I'm a novice with C programming and i have to solve an error in the following code. The code works like you enter a password called "uoc" and it shows as OK. But surprisely when you entered another password as "Cambridge" it works fine too.

I think that the problem is in the array declaration but i'm checking resources and no success!

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct {
char str[8];
char ok;

C :: Strcmp Of 2 Multidimensional Arrays

Aug 6, 2014

I have used strcmp before on one dimensional arrays but not 2 dimensional arrays.The problem is that I have one 2d array that has text with some misspelled words and I have to compare it to another 2d array and if the word from the first array (misspelled word) is not in the 2nd array then I print it to the screen instead of correcting the spelling. Here is what I have so far:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int read_dic(char [], char [][20]);
int read_words(char [], char [][20]);
void typo_check(char *, char *);
}

C :: Strcmp Return Value On Different Compilers

May 3, 2013

I'm having a problem with the strcmp return value. My compiler returns the correct value based on my research, but I tried to compile the code below on those online compilers and the result was 1.

My compiler gave me 10, which I consider to be the correct result according to strcmp - C++ Reference. So strcmp is not very portable?

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
printf("Return value: %d
", strcmp("Rocks", "Rockie"));
return 0;

C++ :: Comparing Two Strings With Strcmp

Jun 22, 2014

I have trouble comparing two strings with strcmp. The bold part of the code are the parts that are not working and i hope somebody can explain to me what i did wrong. Goal of the code is to compare a city name with the name of already created cities and when two of them match to creat a Street between them. Depending on the street pointer different streets can be created

my vector containing all already created cities (it seem to work)
std::vector<city*> citylist;//all cities

find city using strings and creating a road between them:

bool Map::add_street(Street *street, const string firsttown , const string secondtown) {
city* hilfs1=Map::find_city(erste);
city* hilfs2=Map::find_city( zweite);
if (hilfs1==NULL || hilfs2==NULL)
{return false ;} // Problem :both pointers are always NULL

[Code] ....

Here is also my implementation of the getname function :

std::string city::getname() {
return this->name;
}

C/C++ :: Find Max Number Entered By User And Terminate When Negative Number Entered

Jul 15, 2014

I am trying to find the max number entered by the user, and it should terminate when a negative number is entered. For my code, it will just end when the user inputs a lower number than the previous. i.e.- 10 20 15 "The highest number is 20" when it should be "10 20 5 40 15 -1" "The highest number is 40". No arrays or do/while loops either.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int Max(int x);
int main() {
int x;

C++ :: Seller Array - Error When Trying To Use Strcmp Function

May 1, 2014

I'm having an error when trying to use the strcmp function. Here's the jist of the code I'm working with:

Code:
class Seller
{
public:
Seller();
Seller( char [], char[], char [], double );

[Code] ....

I'm getting a
"[Error] cannot convert 'Seller::getID' from type 'char* (Seller:: )()' to type 'const char*'"
on this line of code:
"if (strcmp(sellerArray[i].getID, sellerArray[j].getID) < 0) "

How do i have this method able to compare these values in my seller array? Granted, there is more to the code and things actually in the seller array at this point. Is there something I'm not seeing??

C++ :: Boost Binding - Comparing String Using Strcmp

Jun 5, 2014

I am trying to compare strings (char*) using strcmp but I am having a hard time doing it with boost::bind. It compiles but it crashes when I run it.

I have a std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>> cMonitoredDevices and one cCurrentDevices. I used a typedef DeviceContainer for std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>>.

DeviceInfo is a simply struct that contains a char[128] Name (and other fields not important for this issue) that I want to use to compare.

So I am trying to find the DeviceInfo (based on Name) that are in cMonitoredDevice but not in cCurrentDevices. My problem is retrieving the Name value for the strcmp. Here is what I have so far

for(DeviceContainer::iterator pDevice = m_cMonitoredDevices.begin();
pDevice != m_cMonitoredDevices.end(); pDevice++) {
if (std::find_if(cCurrentDevices.begin(), cCurrentDevices.end(),
boost::bind(&strcmp, boost::bind(&boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>::value_type::Name, _1),
(*pDevice)->Name) == 0) == m_cMonitoredDevices.end()) {
}
}

C++ :: Strcmp Function - Comparing String Data From Two Different Files

Dec 20, 2013

I am having a slight issue with the strcmp function. I am comparing string data from two different files. I want the function to output a set of information if the strings are the same and a different set of data if the strings are different. My issue is, the function outputs the data that's the same but not different.

I had an else statement that compared the data if it was NOT equal but it only duplicated the data in the file.

One file is a listing of 100 books with 10 lines of information and an assigned market. The second file is a listing of the markets contained in the books file. However, the books file has a market that is not located in the markets file. The "missing" market is what is not priting or displaying.

// final project2 file

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
const int ARRAY_SIZE = 500;
const int MARKET_ARRAY = 6;
ifstream infile, infile2;
ofstream outfile;

C++ :: Strcmp On Linked List Data And String Constants?

Sep 28, 2013

why strcmp() doesn't return true when comparing a string constant with a string that was acquired via a linked list. By the way, the data in the linked list was taken from a text file. Does that imply that there's a new line () character in the string from the linked list?

Code:
struct Node{
char ACNO[15];
struct Node *next;

C++ :: Second User Name Input Is Being Skipped

Jan 1, 2014

In this simple end-of-chapter problem, the ages of two people are to be compared and determine who's older. The problem I'm experiencing is that the second user name input is being skipped and going straight to the second users age.

So while running the program it looks something like:

What is user ones name?
<input name>
How old are they?
<input age>
What is user twos name?
How old are they?
<input age>
<if statement result>

Here's my code:

Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int user_one_age;
int user_two_age;
string user_one_name;
string user_two_name;

C# :: TexBox User Input To Hex Value

Sep 2, 2012

So I've got this form that a user puts in a numeric value into a text box. This value then has to be placed into a byte string of data so that it can be transmitted over as a packet. Bellow is what I have so far:

Code:
Byte[] OUTBuffer = new byte[65];//Allocate output memory buffer
Byte[] INBuffer = new byte[65]; //Allocate input memory buffer

if (setmSpeed == true)
{
OUTBuffer[0] = 0; //Not used, must be set to 0
OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85; //Command mode

[Code] ....

I've put in red the area where I'm having issues. I've tried different methods and have not been able to get this working yet. It only works if I speciffy the value manually as with OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85;, but I want byte 2 of OUTBuffer[] to be set with what I put in the text box.

C :: User Input With Forks

Apr 7, 2013

So im working with forks and creating 2 fork processes. One child and parent. What im trying to get the child to ask me for a value. Then the parent would start to figure out the value and keep trying. Once it figures it out its tells them you got it and simply stops the program. I cant seem to get the program to keep guessing and stop when the number is found which sends a sigint. Here's what i have so far.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main() {
int j, i,pid;

C++ :: Alter User Input

Feb 6, 2013

I have this code here that counts the number of alphabetic letters the user's input,the number of characters total, the number of words and the number of "the" that was used. However now I need to alter the user's input to have two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end. And I'm stuck on the altering part. I briefly started the 2 spaces after each period but it won't display anything.

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
